Jasper update!

Here's an update from one of our adopted dogs. Jasper charmed everyone who met him while he was in Pet Haven care as well. Thank YOU Jack, Jan, Jeremy, Lisa and Sam for loving Jasper!

Jasper joined our family 7 weeks ago and WE LOVE HIM!!! He really is an amazing dog. He's got the puppy energy but he's so mellow and very quiet. Jasper's hobbies include playing tug of war and fetch with our 3 teenagers, daily walks/jogs with us, chasing squirrels and rabbits in the yard, and playing with our friends' and neighbors' dogs and kids that visit. With all that activity and his busy days he can't wait for his meals and treats! He gained 1 lb in his first week with us and has maintained that weight ever since.

Thank you to the wonderful rescue, Pet Haven, and Jenny, his fantastic foster mom. Without you Jasper would not be in our lives!

Jack, Jan, Jeremy, Lisa and Sam

Vote Jasper!

Jasper is really making his case this election year to be voted the sweetest dog ever! Jasper comes to Pet Haven from a shelter where he was saved from euthanization several times because the workers there thought he was too nice to be let go of. Luckily for this guy, Pet Haven stepped in and he has been living the high life!

Jasper started on his campaign for Sweetest Dog Ever 2008 when he was boarded at Pampered Pooch Playground while waiting for a foster home to open up. He got to play all day long with other dogs of all sizes and hang out with the workers there. Everyone, of course, fell in love with him.

Jasper moved on to stump for his cause in his foster home. Jasper has been there for about 2 weeks and his foster parents are completely convinced that he is the sweetest, easiest, most easy going foster they have ever had!

Jasper would like everyone considering him as a candidate to know a couple of important details about his life. He is a black lab mix and only weighs about 38-40 pounds. He is cratetrained, housetrained, and knows some obedience but could use an obedience class with his new family. Jasper gets along well with all other dogs, male and female, and enjoys playing with other dogs. He walks well on a leash and is a perfect car passenger. Jasper rarely makes any noise at all. He is used to a fenced in yard here and loves it because then he has room to romp around with his foster brother and sister. Jasper loves everyone he meets, and wriggles right up to you when he meets a new person - if you scratch his neck (he has a white spot on his neck that is the perfect location!) he is your friend for life!

Jasper loves eating his high quality food and foster dad loves that it means there isn't a lot in the poop pick up department for him!

If you are interested in meeting Jasper, please fill out an adoption application or email dogs@pethavenmn.org and it won't take long for him to convince you that he really is the sweetest dog ever!
